Because we don’t test, keeping the numbers low, ensuring more people continue to get infected.
Trying to hide the true size of the denominator is only going to make the death rate appear that much higher than it is.

Assuming the virus ends the lives prematurely of a disproportionate population of old white people, it can only help short circuit his re-election bid.
So things may be looking up here.
Except that yesterday:
Fox News host Martha MacCallum: “... if you don’t cut something in entitlements, you will never really deal with the debt.”
Trump: “Oh, we’ll be cutting,”
Old people dying is a way of getting his cuts.
What debt? He eliminated it as soon as he got into the WH.

Biden is going senile.
You don’t just “forget” the name of the president you served as VP under for eight years, and it wasn’t that long ago. Heck, Biden’s entire campaign centers on the Obama administration, so it’s not like the former president is not incredibly visible. When you couple this with Biden routinely forgetting where he is, what he’s even saying, and slurring his speech (not stuttering, slurring), it’s not going out on much of a limb to access that there’s something very wrong with him.

Never said that she was going to die. Time for you to face facts, Dementia Joe has lost it mentally and Crazy Bernie will destroy him in the next debate.

Rigged,
Both Biden and Trump are 70+ year old dementia patients. We can cut/paste vids of Trump mumbling through all kinds of nonsense.
Trump will lose big. No president has ever been reelected with such a wide approval/disapproval gap. Biden has greater likability.
Oh but polls are biased? Unless its a poll you agree with....
Trump is going to try hard to link the Biden's with Ukraine corruption but that's old news and has already proven to be a nothingburger. At worst Hunter got a job he didnt deserve because he's Biden's son....sort of like the current WH resident...

Dude, wake up. Biden's condition is alarming and getting progressively worse. This is not the same guy who debated Paul Ryan in 2012 & ripped him to pieces. If Quid Pro Dementia Joe's handlers were smart, they demand Tulsi be allowed in the debate... so he could talk less.
Again, I will rely primarily on Norpoth, 13 Keys and IBD/TIFF- and not until the late summer/early fall time frame.
Your self ban is coming.
Tick, tick, tick.
A majority of voters disagree with you, but sure keep reposting the same garbage while Biden continues to consolidate support on the left. Soon you’ll realize it’s trump with a 99% approval rating among a 40% base vs Biden with 53% of the general vote.

Age related word retrieval or substitution problems are inconsequential. It's common at that age. However outright irrational thinking is problematic and a concern. I haven't seen that from Biden but I have seen that from Trump. Saying the windmills cause cancer, that the corona virus is a hoax, that there is a conspiracy from the deep state, just to name a few from many examples, is concerning.
Suddenly slurring very common words suggests neurological issues too.

I watched my own mother progress with dementia and then pass away. I know it when I see it. The same thing is happening with Biden. It starts with the speech, constantly forgetting words, unable to complete sentences and rambling into incoherence. His wife needs to step in and end this.
You dems are kidding yourselves. If this was your parent acting this way, you would end this immediately. Biden is getting to the point where he is embarrassing not only himself but the entire public. Why hasn't Obama endorsed him by now?
If Trump starts rambling about kids rubbing his legs or forgetting where the camera is or forgetting people's names or talking about "Corn Pop" or put the record player on at night, etc. Then you would have a point.
Trump is still quick on his feet with the verbal repartee. Quid Pro Dementia Joe is not, he's a train wreck.
No idiot, trump never attempts to say anything remotely intelligent or sophisticated. When all you do is repeat the same simple line over and over yeah you can conceal your mental capacity much more. All you know about Biden comes from propaganda clips. Why do you love to be a moron?

What do you mean “all you have”? Claiming the House would not impeach him is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on LRC.

Trigged is an idiot to link to those odds. His numbers from from a link pass through site at betonline.ag. And that site is owned by someone named Eddie Robbins III which is an alias. Their real name might be Charles Bauer, but that is likely another onion layer alias. Look around on the internet and you find people who complained their betting account money was taken, and who learned that they could not go after the company because it was not a registered entity where the person whose money was taken lived. So, it is basically a scam operation which does pay out on some bets to remain barely above the law.

Polls have flaws. Some people lie to pollsters or just give them what they think is the "proper" answer. Others won't even talk to them.
Pundits are worse. They often let their personal preferences skew their predictions.
Bettors are more accurate because of something called the "wisdom of crowds." It turns out that an average of many people's estimates is usually more accurate than any one person's views.

You lose.

New cases do not just go down "by magic". This thing can only be slowed by truly draconian measures - basically shutting down the economy. Or, much better, by a vaccine. But things slowing down without shutting down schools and places of work and everybody basically just staying home is simply not going to happen. Why would it?
So, if you are hoping, (as I am), that the death toll from this does NOT reach the millions you basically have three possibilities:
1) Shut down the economy (which would result in financial and societal costs that are difficult to imagine today)
2) Get a working vaccine out quickly (best option)
3) Hope that warmer weather slows down the virus substantially.
Thinking that "Oh, this looks like a bell curve" (on incredibly unreliable data) is profoundly naive.
